Rainbow Bridge

Writing it all down. Finding peace in the scribbles. How does journaling support your practice? For me, its a way to commit to the passing thoughts that otherwise race around me on repeat. I want 2018 to be a strong year. In order to achieve that I need to set goals and be prepared to honour them. 2017 was a great, memorable year, but more in terms of grounding than growth. One year into our time in Victoria, its time to feel our roots and grow tall and strong. With gratitude, beauty, and peace, I wish you all the strength you need to cultivate your dreams. Rainbow blessings, beautiful people. # . #meditation #journaling #meditativejournaling #rainbowbridgeyoga #yoga #gratitude #strength #happynewyear

Let the ocean take away your troubles. They need not be yours. Let them wash away with your grounding breath. Lunch breaks are better with your feet on the earth #tuesdayvibe #grounding #breath #tadasana

Day 13 of the 30-day challenge, on everyday enlightenment. I sometimes find myself longing for grand, life-changing experiences that radically affect my values and behaviours. Some mysterious shift that will align my energies and actions to live my greatest potential. I am usually in one of those moods when I dedicate myself to a 30- or 40-day practice like this one. And what I always come around to, after the excitement and enthusiasm of the first couple weeks, is an appreci...ation for how the small work of practicing every day works in bigger ways. The start of a practice does not necessarily turn my life around on a dime, but in some ways it does. Practice creates the space I need for the changes necessary to making those bigger leaps. I continually find it a challenge to stop what I'm doing and make time for practice, but when I do make that time there are perceptible shifts in my energy, focus, and the work I do that day. Each morning I scoff at the 'chore' of practicing. And each morning I am humbled by the gifts that practice brings me. Whether it is a mantra, pranayama or asana practice, the results are the same: a calmer, happier, clearer mind; a sense of calm in my body; a warmth in my gaze; strength and patience for being with and helping others; and gratitude for everything that has been achieved on this tumultuous little planet of ours. My heart goes out to all the victims of senseless violence. My heart goes out to those capable of committing such atrocities. May the world be a kinder place, so none are driven to such terrible deeds. May practice bring peace. May practice create the space we need for bigger change. May practice be that change. Rainbow blessings to you and yours, dear friends. #30daychallenge #meditation #yoga #pranayama #mantra #practiceandalliscoming #practiceandallishere

Day 4 of the 30 day @atlasyoga challenge started here on the mat. Yesterday I enjoyed an invigorating flow practice with three beautiful bridesmaids and one handsome bridesman. This morning it was time to relax and restore after a magical, boisterous wedding. It never ceases do amaze me how an hour on the mat can get the stuck energies flowing again. Feeling loved, blessed, and eager to continue sharing the journey. #30daychallenge #yoga #meditation #wholefoods

@atlasyoga is hosting a 30-day yoga + food challenge and I'll be practicing along with them this whole moon cycle! Oftentimes, my meditation, yoga and food practices can feel like a chore. I do them because I *should* and not because of how they make me feel awesome!!! This month I'll be harnessing in some joy, and practicing because the practice works! I want to be motivated by abundance and bliss, not fear and shame. Here's to a month of strength and growth ahead of me!! If you're interested in joining in practice, please do so! Post your progress or make a journal to keep track of your progress. I always look back on these month long challenges with great fondness, and I bet you will too!! Now, time for some journaling, and to pack for my trip to Ontario! Smell you soon Onterrible

Started out the day handing out provisions with the inspiring team at the Victoria Dandelion Society - if you haven't heard of them please check out their website https://hopeliveshere.ca/ and consider donating to their cause. So grateful for the opportunity to lend a hand, and looking forward to volunteering with them in the coming weeks.

My morning meditations come and go like the tides. When the tide is high, my soul feels juicy, nourished, and flowing with the forces that are in and around me. When the tide is low, my soul feels stagnant, dry and exposed, but rich for the perspective to see the rainbow bounty otherwise hidden beneath the waves of my life. Practicing self compassion helps me to accept my radiant soul in both states - with and without practice, in and out of flow. We may see the beauty in every moment of our human journey when we take the time to just witness it all, with presence and acceptance. #rainbowblessings #meditation #yoga #rainbowbridge

"Now, in the generosity of the Great Mother, Nature, I was given the time it took to receive and be nurtured. I was given the permission to be on the planet just as I am. I was given the grace to accept myself in relation to the unfolding of all the dynamics that give shape to who I am." : Self Awakening Yoga, by Don Stapleton : Robin McGeough
